Low 1,700 Miles!! Literally Like New. Truly The Best Example In The World! on 2040-cars
Barrington, Illinois, United States
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit
original 1,700 miles
1987
Museum quality
Never before did the saying "looks like it just came off the factory floor" sound so true. This is the closest thing to buying a “new” Silver Spirit today! Presenting this unbelievable (but real) Rolls-Royce Silver
Spirit with only 1,700 original miles. Finished in Dark Oyster (metallic
slate grey) with red fine lines and rich burgundy Connolly hides, matching
floor rugs and factory moutons. This would be, without any doubt, the VERY BEST
mid-80s Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit in the world. A bold but serious claim.
~~ Presenting as a totally original Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, this is a beautiful and very fine example that presents as a true 10 out of 10 Show car. It is without doubt to be considered the best example of its kind ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. It is a 1987 Rolls-Royce built "yesterday". Truly like brand new – not an easy claim to make these days. You could confidently drive this Spirit “as-is” to your next Rolls-Royce meet with the sole intention of winning first prize in its category. And you will - it is that good! ~~
This is by NOT, by means, a typical 1987 Silver Spirit and as such will command considerably more than top condition prices. Notwithstanding, reasonable offers will be considered.
Many additional photos are available at the following link. I recommend all interested buyers to review these to best appreciate the cars stunning condition. Take the time to look at all the close-up photos of the interior (the wood, leather, carpets and headlining are truly like new), bodywork, chrome and overall appearance. This Spirit is so “perfect”, it makes the photos look like original brochure pictures!
Interior so completely immaculate Switchgear virtually never touched Everything so clean (don't worry, we have the missing chrome finishing cap to the lower radio knob) The leather without even a scuff or mark The leather doesn't even have fold lines, yet still soft and supple Headliner material like brand new Click HERE to see 200+ additional photos! A note from RRMOTORSINC: ~~oo00oo~~

PLEASE read auction terms & conditions below BEFORE bidding ** This Rolls-Royce is part of a private collection. Although
licensed and bonded, I am not a main-stream retail car dealer or broker; I am a
professional car collector of some 30 years with considerable experience and
knowledge of Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars. I have a long standing
reputation being associated with the marque which I take seriously. I take
pride in my cars and have fun in collecting and restoring them. However,
auctions are not a game so when you place a bid or offer, and you are the
winning bidder, please understand you have entered a binding contract. You
cannot bid and win the auction and expect not to meet the terms and conditions.
Bidding and/or winning does not mean you are expecting me to “hold” the car
until you have the opportunity to inspect it. Any inspection contemplated
should be undertaken BEFORE you bid or make an offer and I openly welcome any
potential buyer to come and personally inspect the car. Once you bid or make an
offer, you are doing so to buy WITHOUT conditions. Your bid can not be subject
to anything. A $2000.00 deposit (non-refundable) is required within 24 hours of
the close of the auction and payable by PayPal. The balance of funds are
required within 7 days of the close of the auction and must be provided by
cashier’s check or bank wire. I cannot accept PayPal for the balance. Full
payment must be made (and payments cleared) before the title and/or the vehicle
is released. All payments are non-refundable. Payments as described above form
an important part of this purchase contract and so, if all the funds are not
received as outlined above, I reserve the right to terminate the transaction
without notice. If there has been any deposit or other part payments received
and I elect to terminate the contract, I reserve the right to keep any such
deposits or payments and resell the vehicle to another bidder or interested
party or re-list the vehicle at any time. To be clear, if you change your mind
for ANY reason and do not complete the transaction in the time-frame required,
you will forfeit your deposit. I am happy to assist with shipping arrangements
on a national and worldwide basis but the winning bidder takes full
responsibility for pickup and/or shipping and at his cost.
The
vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is" with no warranty expressed,
written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are made with
reasonable judgment and all efforts are made to ensure fair assessment and
accuracy but they are for descriptive and identification purposes only and are
not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The seller shall not be
responsible for errors in description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects
herein and makes no warranty in connection therewith. If any aspect of the
description contradicts what can be seen in the photos, then the photos shall
prevail as the reference point. No allowance or set aside will be made on
account of any incorrectness, unforeseen imperfection, defect or damage. It is
the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as to the condition
and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The seller shall and will
make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects at the buyer’s
request prior to the close of the auction. Seller assumes no responsibility for
any repairs regardless of any written or oral statements about the vehicle.
Being a classic car in excess of 10 years of age, in most PLEASE; IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU CONTEMPLATE DOING SO AS, RESPECTFULLY, THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS. I am sorry if these terms seem harsh but there seem to be some very unrealistic buyers out there - fortunately, only few of these people exist but those that do can make life difficult, so it appears EVERYTHING needs to spelled out. Very simply put, this is an old car being offered for sale. It is not new and is subject to the perils of age. Further, Rolls-Royces are not without nuances, idiosyncrasies and they are renown for a host of design issues which can make them not inexpensive to maintain. This is well documented in many circles. You need to be a special and considerate type of purchaser to own a Rolls-Royce. Their down-side is part of the fun in owning them! As the old saying goes; "we love to hate them and hate to love them!" So, please respect the terms and conditions when you bid. ~~oo00oo~~ ~~ **Please note:
This Rolls-Royce is part of the collection of a dear friend of mine. As a
professional collector and experienced restorer, I have my own Rolls-Royce
dedicated workshop with qualified craftsmen on hand; The Park-Ward Motor
Museum. As a passionate collector of the marque I take great pride and pleasure
in passing on any of these great cars to its next owner (“caretaker”). In so
doing, once this Rolls-Royce is sold, I will put the car thru my workshop to
ensure that it is mechanically sound and all major features and functions are
operating as described even though the car is contractually being sold
"as-is". Certain items such as final electrical tests and hydraulic
pressure checks are usually left for this stage as these are considered
"commissioning procedures". In this case, this will include the air
conditioning system of this car. This and considerable other work will be
performed after the sale and before delivery. This is all done at NO CHARGE.
Who else selling a Rolls-Royce on eBay does this?! Depending on our work load,
please allow approximately 7-10 business days for this procedure. For more
information on the Park-Ward Motor Museum and our skills, please eBay message
me and I would be happy to show you some 100 Rolls-Royces restored to varying
levels over the last few years ~~
Rolls-Royce values vary wildly, entirely dependent on their condition. There are, of course, other aspects that add or subtract from their values – Long Wheel Base versus regular, the year which dictated certain technical changes, etc. The colour alone, for example can make a big difference. And, in the case of this darling example, its unbelievable low mileage. So for the benefit of new-comers to the marque please see the approximate guide to values based on a particular model below. Please remember, these are “plus-or-minus” figures:
Year: 1986-1989 Model: Silver Sprit Show car: $50,000+ Exceptional: $25-45,000 Excellent: $20-25,000 Good: $16-20,000 Average: $12-16,000 Fair: $6-12,000 Basket case: < $6,000

Man orders $20M-worth of Rolls-Royce Phantoms
Fri, 19 Sep 2014The term "luxury" gets thrown around a lot when speaking about vehicles that are actually somewhat affordable like BMWs and Cadillacs, but Rolls-Royce and hotel magnate Stephen Hung (above in the wild suit) are proving what real opulence really is with the largest single order from the fabled British marque, ever. Hung is purchasing 30 custom examples of the Phantom Extended Wheelbase (pictured right) for $20 million. To push the deal even further over the top, two of the Phantoms are the most expensive examples ever commissioned.
This assemblage of über-luxury sedans isn't for Hung's personal collection. Instead, the cars are going to be part of the fleet for the swanky hotel and casino that he's opening in Macau, China, in 2016 called the Louis XIII. According to The Washington Post, when the 200-room resort opens, the Louis XIII is supposed to be one of the most mind-blowing places in the world, including a suite that costs $100,000 a night.
When completed, the 30 cars will be in matching crimson red to echo the exterior of the hotel. That color will be carried into the interior trim, as well, including the gauges, and the seats will have a checker board pattern. Each one will be outfitted with a bespoke clock from Graff Luxury Watches. The two most expensive Phantoms will get all of this attention, plus gold-plated trim covering the interior and exterior.
BMW bringing 9 Series concept to Beijing
Tue, 08 Apr 2014It appears that BMW is ready to take another step upmarket with a new concept flagship luxury sedan at the Beijing Motor Show at the end of April. The showcar is said to preview the company's rumored 9 Series, a sedan that would be positioned against top trims of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, like the rumored S600 Maybach.
According to Automotive News Europe, the concept sedan wears styling language adapted from the curvaceous BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe (pictured above) shown at the 2013 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance in May. It rides on BMW's new, modular platform - codenamed G11 - for the company's largest cars, an architecture also expected to be shared with the next 7 Series and future Rolls-Royce vehicles. It's rumored to bring the weight of the 7 closer to the 5 Series, which would be several hundred pounds lighter when comparing the base models of both current vehicles. We spotted the next-gen 7 Series testing over a year ago, and both it and the 9 Series are expected to go on sale in 2016.
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no official information about the concept. "We don't have any official news yet on anything in Beijing," Julian Arguelles, BMW USA spokesperson, tells Autoblog. However, it's heartening to think that BMW might be adapting the gorgeous shape of the Gran Lusso for production.
Rolls-Royce Wraith convertible planned, SUV rumors kicked to the curb
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Seeing as it adheres to the exotic car template we've known for years, it should surprise no one that the next model from Rolls-Royce will reportedly be a convertible version of the Wraith. When the coupe is on its way to dealers at the end of this year, company CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös has told Autocar that the British luxury marque start applying itself to the convertible.
At no time will they apply themselves to an SUV, though. Still sticking to its brand-value guns, Müller-Ötvös says that an SUV wouldn't have that trademark Rolls-Royce feeling and that such a vehicle hasn't even been discussed. Having heard this before from other brands, we can't help but suspect that one day in the future we'll hear the phrase, "Oh, but this is the Rolls-Royce of SUVs."
The investment in an SUV would also mean a huge investment in the factory at Goodwood, however, since Wraith production is expected to need three shifts and raise levels to near capacity. And forget about building anything from The Spirit of Ecstasy somewhere else, Müller-Ötvös saying, "Rolls-Royces are built in Goodwood."
